Mind/Game

A three-time NCAA champ and No. 1 draft pick in the WNBA, Chamique Holdsclaw was hailed as the "female Michael Jordan," impressing crowds with her artistry, athleticism and drive. She seemed destined for a spectacular professional career... until her long-suppressed battle with mental disorders emerged to derail her career and threaten her life. From the rough-edged courts of New York City to the University of Tennessee and beyond, Mind/Game intimately chronicles Holdsclaw's athletic accomplishments and personal setbacks, and her decision, despite public stigma, to become an outspoken mental health advocate. Still, she would face dramatic, unexpected challenges to her own recovery. The film at Washington, DC's Atlas Performing Arts Center, narrated by Glenn Close, tells a powerful story of courage, struggle and redemption.
